What is a Dollar!

A dollar is dollar if it isn't bogus;
it is two soc pieces; four 25c; ten Zoe;
twenty DC; one hundred l cent. a dol
lar bill is made of whitish paper ,and IS
colored green behind and black before.
Unlike the smallpox, a dollar is hard to
catch; but like the average swell lady
of the period, it is duced hard to keep.
a lot of 'em in a roll dollars we mean,
not ladies) gives a fellow funny feel
ing-a kind of getaway closer and
moreish sensation. A plethora of dol
lars will cure the dumps, though, unless
a man is a tetotaler, they may also
produce the jumps. When man has
dollar it will always carry him some
where, and if he has lots of dollars that
he hasn't time to account for, their
carrying capacity is marvellous espec-
tally if the person be a banker. When
a bullet is spent it is harmless, but when
ones last dollar is spent desperation
often fills the vacuum. There is lots of
vacuum in a dudes head and church
collection bOX.-Er.

This typical Kansas weather has
| made these glorious autumn days 8
theme of common remark, even among
people who are not impoverished of
Their topics of conversation, not only
in Atchison, but all over the state.
Autumn in Kansas, all things consid-
cred, is the most charming period of
the year, the season which, in the
month of October, still retains much
of the freshness and beauty of the
summer in the robes of the field and
grove, in the sunshine IF the sky and
the variegated splendor of the trees
which are not an inconsiderable fea-
ture of the Kansas landscape. The
autumnal sky, the soft and mellow
sunlight. the changing foliage, the
browning grass with its crispness, the
pensive, dreamy atmosphere, the stub
BILE bare, the rustling corn fields, the
harrow shaped focks of birds vending
their way southwark, the briefer days,
the shortening twilights, the length
ening evenings with their Frightening
stars and the round, full nearer moon,
all these and other characteristics of
the season are here, to invest the
90 melancholy days" with a compen-
sating brilliance and an al.uring fan
tasy. The bluffs. the broad uplands,
the valleys, with their ravines, the
whole vast plateau named Kansas, at
this season of the year, presents a
scene of beauty which beggars all de-
scription. Its charm beguiles the
senses and bewilders the imagination
as the beholder views the conspicuous
glory of these rare and matchless days.
The coloring of the serene ranges
through every tint and shade, from the
deepest and richest crimson and scarlet
to the most delicate orange and yellow,
with every intermediate tone of light,
exquisitely blended in all its lines, de
flying every imitation Of art. The
temperature of the midday at this
season is most agreeable and sufficient
ly bracing to remind one of the APP
preaching November and if the days
which wait with chilly impatience be-
yond. The smoky dawn and the bril-
liant sunset with its magnificent after
glow, during which the carnival of
color in the western horizon is at its
height, the serene and resrful nights
so laden with refreshing slumber, all
conspire to enhance the delight of our
Kansas autumn and to make US Won
der why Kansans cross the sandy and
alkali deserts of Arizona to search in |
vain for its equal in California, that
greatly overrated and deceptive coun-
try.-Atchison Daily Champion.

Henry Blaylock, of the firm OF
Dennis & Blaylock, hardware mer-
chants at Hoisington, had his leg
crushed Tuesday ON the cars between
Great Bend and Hoisingion. He had
been down to the Bend on business
and was returning in the baggage car
of the Mo. Pacific train. At this city
some lumber had been put in the car
TO repair the landing at the coursing
grounds One end of some boards
was left sticking out of the car door,
and as the train crossed the bridge
over the Walnut the board was caught
on the bridge and in some manner
caught the leg of Mr.. Blaylock and
crushed it badly just at the ankle.
An engine was Immediately Dispatch
ed to the city for DIR. Shaw who was
quickly ON the ground and cared for
the painfully wounded man. 1t is
feared the break will be bad one and
probably cripple the man for life.

Lively Times Among the Knights

MINNEAPOLIS, October 14.-Details of
the secret session Of the Knights of
Labor Assembly on Thursday after
noon have just leaked out and show
that one of the liveliest discussions of
the convention was INDUCED in. TIE
luton favoring the action of Master
Workman Powderly and the
executive board in declaring the
big Chicago stockyards strike eff.
Some of the delegates from District 4
and 80, of Chicago, had come here viii
feeling of bitterness against Pow
derby, and all of the executive board,
except Cary. They offered substitute
resolution roundly censuring the action
of the General Master Workman and
the executive board.
Charles F. Serb and George F. Schil-
ling made vehement speeches. sustain
ing the substitute, and roundly scoring
POwderly. They claimed the action of
Powderly had defeated tie purpose of
the strikers.
Mr.. Barry, in his remarks. said he
thought til men would have gained
their point without any expense 10 the
order, and would have been successful
had they been allowed to stay out.
Mr.. Powderly took the floor and
went over the matter from the begin
ming to the end. He made the state
ment that the action of the executive
board was advised by him and If there
was any blame it belonged to him. The
yeas and nays were called for and the
sub ;titute was lost. The commit'e s
resolution was then passed by la
to 40.
The committee on law reported to the
general assembly this morning and it
was found there was no disposition to
make any important changes in the
machinery or methods of the ordsr.
A number of amendments and pros
positions were rejected as being
unnecessary or already covered. The
rule permitting district or national
trade assemblies to regulate the time of
delivery of charters to newly organized
local assemblies was adopted. The
motion to strike out that part of the
constitution which gives power to the
General Executive Board to submit an
amendment 10 local assemblies at any
time was met by substitute that only
on the request of five district
assemblies should the board submit an
amendment. The law qualifying mem
bers OF the general assembly was
slightly altered, so that delegates must
hereafter show a record of attendance
at three sessions Of the district assembly
instead of four. The report of the COM
mittee is only about half finished.
III an interview to-day Pow derby de-
MED that Michel Dayitt had any Sc
cret project when he visited Minneapo-
lis and the general assembly last week
There was no other intention than the
seeking of en- iorsementb by the conven-
ton of the efforts of the people of Ire
land to better their condition.

The First of the Drummers.
IPhiladelphis News.l

Daniel r. Wolff, of Chambersburg, says
he is the first commercial traveller who ever
went on the road. In 1874 be went to Phils-
oelphla as q salesman with the dry goods
house of Duntop, Gemmill e. Co. Grade
was dull that year" says Mr.. Wolff, land
/ suggested to the firm the idea of sending
some one ont among the country mer-
chants 10 drum up trade"
"Wbo will be the drummer asked one
of the firm.
"l WILL" l replied, and they sent me
cut. That was the origin of the term
drummer by which all travehcg statesmen
are now known. i went on the road and
solicited trade among the merchants OF
Southern and Central Pennsylvania aud
New Jersey. For five years I,carried no sam
pies, filling my customers orders from sam
Piles provided by themselves. In 1949 il
struck me all OF a sudden that this was
necessarily keeping my trade limited, and
that If | carried line of samples of my
Own could introduce new goods and more
of them. l sent to the firm AID showed
them that tbe samples we're coming from
the wrong end of the line, and they ga v
the point aud furnished me with samples.
From that year dates the customt Of carry
ing samples by dlummers."
Nj, Wolff las been constantly on the
Iosd ever since bis pioneer trip among
the country merchants, and at the aga OF
nearly seventy is still drumming up trade
for Philadelphia house.
